Take a look inside

A word from the Author

I believe that graphic design is a science, just like, for example, mathematics, with defined principles and rules to follow. And just like anything else, it can be taught and learned. The whole creative block (and all other kinds of block) is nothing but a lack of information, knowledge and will. Creativity is overrated, it comes free along the way of learning.

These statements may sound like empty words, so I have decided to prove them right and write a book - a book about graphic design for everyday computer users using software they are already familiar with. Something that could help others to understand that you do not need art schools, years of training or expensive software to create nice-looking documents. Your tools are limited, but your imagination should not be.
